hi. all i can say is wow! what an amazing place, chill people and great music. (i still wonder what kept me from checking these out earlier--old jaded friends perhaps?) totally worth the long drive to and from, love love love. i still can't believe i danced about 90% of the time i was there. next time i will make sure i don't have to work that day so i can get there early  and wow on early morning sunrises over ponds with such beautiful music and bullfrogs singing along. Hiya fixer, nice to run into you again! also, my amigo would like to know if anyone took a photograph of him and his bush effigy?*shrug* namaste, amigos - lovely to meet you or re-meet you sfunk |

If we do a stage at blueshift, we'll get enough new recruits for our shows that we won't have any attendance issues in the future.
Good luck! I am a little skeptical that there is much crossover between the ravers and the psy crowd but I hope you're right. I'm a crossover! Been going to raves for like 7 years... I've been in love with psytrance ever since I heard "Dancing Galaxy" by Astral Projection for the first time. I dunno why more ravers don't listen to psy... or why psy people seem to avoid raves. Theoretically it's all the same, the psy community just has nicer, more contientious people I'm in hardkorenate's camp on this one... once they hear it they won't be able to get enough of it Rendezvous booked psy DJ 3.14 (Grandaddy DJ) at Stellar Spark in Wisconsin for New Years Eve and all the ravers were digging it.

Maybe because a lot ravers think trance = Tiesto & unicorns. |

LOL, Maybe. I like Trance, too though It's a bitch trying to get people to listen to it... most midwesterners don't listen to electronic music at all. I wish I understood why. I guess it was the same way with rap/hip-hop in years past, now it's mainstream. Maybe people will come around, then again, maybe we should all just move to Europe.

There was some.. Interstellar Dreamfest had a bunch of Phantasm records guys.. Dan Efex, DJ Feather, others played some.. and at the time it was only Goa. Not what is considered "psy" now. That was also a different generation..
Doormouse played some.. he gave me his copy of Twisted on color vinyl..

I have a small sound system I could bring for renegade chillout. No generator, tho.
There's a 5000hp generator I can get for free, I own costco barn, we have access to dome, Varun has uv deco .... If Dimitry brings his pillows, we'll be all set for some renegade chill  |

sweet vinyl! possibly the biggest difference is that psy is best out-of-doors and most raves are not? |

I can't say anything that happened before 2001  . I was sooo surprised after I moved to Chicago that there was no strong psytrance/acid techno/nrg scene (I guess I missed it hehe). Different generation/ Probably. Nowadays underage kids can't get into clubs where OCCASIONALLY psytrance is being played nor raves that goverment keeps cracking down. So they have no chance to listen to other music than MTV and commercial radio. Just thinking out loud .... |

Not sure where the hell you were going but acid techno has always been strong in the midwest, you would prolly have to leave chicago though. Chicago has always been house/jungle unless you dug deep. We have had a psy dj at our raves for years. I am pretty comfortable in saying that 99% of the Iowans were once or still are ravers. I am everything  |

The ravers haven't HEARD psy yet.
Our first event METATRONIC 1 was mostly attended by ravers. It's not new to them. Are you saying they hated it? Hate to break it to ya, but psy IS rave music. *cough*acid trance*cough* The key here is that were going to have a chance to expose about 70% of the people that are really into electronic music to the best we have to offer. If 10% of them dig it, that doubles our attendance and makes our family bigger. |
